Answer

$5.5Km$

Work Step by Step

In the given scenario $F_e=F_g$ $\frac{Kqe}{r^2}=mg$ This can be rearranged as: $r=\sqrt{\frac{Kqe}{mg}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $r=\sqrt{\frac{8.99\times 10^9(0.35\times 10^{-9})(1.6\times 10^{-19})}{(1.637\times 10^{-27})(9.81)}}$ $r=550m= 5.5Km$
